Hrvatski ultimate

There are a couple of games like ultimate that we will play this fall and winter. some have asked me for some details, so here is a guide:

An outdoor game emphasizing zone defense: DURANGO BOOT
This link explains the whole game, but it is a lot of info. We will also teach it on saturday morning (and maybe afternoon too).

Strategy: there are good notes on strategy at the link.

Key benefits: clam style defense and quick counter-attacks. you can play this instead of box if you only have a few people.

An indoor game emphasizing person (man-to-man) defense: STOP THE CHUMP
Basic game info. We play indoor at velesajam with the football/handball goals.

Strategy
(1) sub out before you are tired. you can sub any time, even while the disc is in play. if you are on the field, run full speed.
(2) use a split stack. every player MUST get to a sideline when not actively cutting or holding the disc. leave the middle open for quick attacks to the goal.
(3) poaching, zone, clam are illegal. you can go for any disc that is in the air, but you must guard your own guy/girl until that time.
(4) be very careful if you are going for a block on someone else's player - if you are not careful you could run into somebody in that small indoor space. chep, this is especially true when we play with boys and girls together.

Key benefits:
(1) moving the disc quickly
(2) fast breaks (if you score a goal you immediately go back the other direction still on offense)
(3) elevating and lowering your heartbeat
